3/8-16 x 7/16 Knurled Point Alloy Steel Socket Set Screw is chosen where serrations at the point help the screw hold position against a prepared or softer mating surface.
The serrated knurled cup point bites the mating surface and helps resist vibration-driven back-out in blind holes, softer materials, collars, hubs, and adjustment locations.
Typical review points for 3/8-16 x 7/16 include repair bins, equipment rebuilds, and exact-size set screw substitutions; it may also fit tooling details, clamp collars, and positioning hardware where a headless set screw keeps the outside of the component clear while point contact provides the holding action.
The 3/8-16 thread designation identifies a UNC inch thread with 16 threads per inch, and the 7/16 in. length should be checked against tapped depth, contact location, and drive access.
The knurled cup point is usually chosen for localized bite rather than for a locating-hole function. Cold Headers helps buyers keep specialty point geometry, exact size, and material together during quoting.
